Friday weird stuff blogging

It’s Friday!! I wish I’d been at that party….
Anyhoo, I was looking at the blog stats page, and I was inspired to a post about weird stuff. Huh? What? Well, it’s always been interesting to me to read the search terms that have brought people to our little blog. Here are a few:
Not surprisingly, “us banks in trouble” is a hot topic these days — 94 views from variations on that search phrase.
I guess people are looking for laughs as well — 219 views from people looking for “political cartoons,” mostly election related searches. Oddly enough 17 views by people looking for “political cartoons about contraception.”
For a long time, the search term “fat frog” has been bringing people to TheZoo. No idea why. 😀
The weirdest search term over the last two days has been “big fish” — 128 views. Cool.
Other weirdness going on in the world:
Couple has had enough — saws house in half.
Stressed out? — Smash some stuff.
And finally…
Woman shot by wood stove — not enough kindling, dammit!
Have a great/weird Friday, all!
Antarctic Weirdness
I found this over at the Navel Academy…
Scientists trekking across a little visited part of Antarctica have discovered a
bizarre relic of the Soviet Union is dominating the South Pole of Inaccessibility.
In the middle of no-where – literally the point on Antarctica furthest from the sea – an imposing bust of revolutionary Bolshevik Vladimir Lenin peers out onto the polar emptiness.
A Norwegian-US Scientific Traverse met Lenin this week while nearly a thousand kilometres to the south another group were “moving” the South Pole – literally.
A barber’s pole marks the actual spot but the US Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station sits on top of a moving ice-sheet – so the Pole moves.
The Inaccessibility Pole marks the point on Antarctica that is furthest from the ocean. At 3718 metres above sea-level it is in the Australian zone and seldom visited.
Apparently the bust is made of plastic.
Now that’s something you don’t see everyday. What next? A big plastic Jeebus…?
